Brisbane







have had a fantastic day out in Brisbane today. What a great city! We spent most of the day at the cultural centre, first with the American Impressionnism and Realism exhibition which was just beautiful and then at the museums handson science section - great!!! Kids really liked that! Actually we all did!



The security during the exhibition was very tight...I guess to be expected with such a priceless collection. Some of the paintings just hit you, such a glow to them. I certainly had never seen art this good before!



As you walk into the museum building you go down a walkway with these amazing lifesized whales hanging! complete with barnacles!






It was really special to see Aunty Liz, on this side of the ocean! It was a very cool family hangout day :)



At lunchtime we walked down the river, which I have to admit I didn't know was there, and found food around a manmade beach! A lagoon in the middle of the city! Sophie and Samuel swam and we all enjoyed the SUN!!!!!! Very hot!!!!!!!!!!!! Like our summer...but it is winter! Nice!!!






We caught the bus and train up and back all pretty easy as the stop right outside the door!






So tomorrow off to a fancy breakfast at the resort and a day with no plans as yet! Movie World on Wednesday...will let you all know!!
